Mention must also be made of a few other nineteenth-century gardens which, though not in London, were a good deal frequented by Londoners:
Rosherville Gardens, Gravesend.—Established 1837, and still in existence.
The North Woolwich Gardens (1851 to circa 1883).—Now represented by the Pavilion Hotel and the Royal Victoria Gardens, a public recreation-ground (Sexby’s Municipal Parks, p. 457).
Beulah Spa (circa 1831–1854), with its archery and entertainments of the ‘fancy fair’ kind, the site now partly occupied by the Beulah Spa ‘Hydro’ and its grounds.
Anerley Gardens.—Near the station, Anerley (circa 1841–1868). (Thorne’s Environs, s.v. Anerley; Walford, Old and New London, vi. 314.)
